Fox ended "King of the Hill" at its current 13th season, The Hollywood Reporter said.
Created by Greg Daniels and Mike Judge, the Texas-set cartoon sit-com features the voice talents of Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Brittany Murphy, Tom Petty, Johnny Hardwick and Stephen Root.
Daniels is a showrunner for NBC's "The Office" and Judge is working on a new animated series called "The Goode Family."
Now FOX announces it is going for another season of the animated series "American Dad", which features die-hard Republican and card-carrying NRA member Stan Smith, voiced by Seth MacFarlane.
The series airs Sundays (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
New episodes begin Nov. 2 with “Choosy Wives Choose Smith,” where Stan becomes jealous after finding out Francine (voiced by Wendy Schaal) was once engaged to a pilot who was assumed dead after his plane crashed.
Unbeknownst to her, Stan and Roger (also voiced by MacFarlane) track down the charitable heartthrob and force Francine to decide between the two men. Then, Steve (voiced by Scott Grimes) plots to get revenge against the popular girls in school in “Escape from Pearl Bailey” airing Nov. 9.
